After arranging Zhuo Bufan and Chi Yan's accommodations, the patriarch of the Jin Clan summoned his ministers to discuss important matters.
Before leaving, Zhuo Bufan, as the patriarch of the Fire Clan, made a clear statement.
The Fire Clan would use the Eternal Fire as a betrothal gift, and they hoped that the Jin Clan would respond with a dowry of equal value.
Because of this sentence, there was a lot of discussion in the hall.
Some were in favor, and some were against.
The ministers who were in favor all thought that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Patriarch, I think this is an opportunity for the Jin Clan."
"Patriarch, you also saw that the prince of the Fire Clan was baptized by the Eternal Fire. He will be the future patriarch of the Fire Clan! "
"Although he is just a prince now, the entire Fire Clan will be under his control in the future."
"If our princess can marry the prince of the Fire Clan, then you will be half a father to the patriarch of the Fire Clan."
"If the Fire Clan and the Jin Clan join forces, they will be invincible."
"That's right, patriarch. The Eternal Fire is the sacred fire of the Fire Clan. It is the sacred weapon that the Elf King personally passed down to the Fire Clan. "
"A Fire Elf who can be baptized by the Eternal Fire definitely has an extraordinary bloodline."
"This is also a good thing for the princess's son."
"So I think this is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I believe that in the whole world, except for the prince of the Fire Clan, no other elf is worthy of our princess. "
Naturally, there were those who were in favor and those who were against.
And the voices of opposition seemed to be louder.
"Patriarch, I object. Don't you understand the meaning of the Fire Clan's patriarch's words? "
"The Fire Clan's patriarch said that the Fire Clan will use the Eternal Fire as a betrothal gift, and they hope that the Jin Clan will respond with a dowry of equal value."
"The Eternal Fire is a sacred fire, and the only thing comparable to it in the Jin Clan is the Sacred Sword."
"I think the Fire Clan's patriarch came for the Sacred Sword. This guy is obviously up to no good! "
"That's right, patriarch. If he really came for the Sacred Sword, then there is definitely something wrong with this marriage."
"The Sacred Sword is the most important sacred weapon of the Jin Clan. This sacred weapon must not be lost."
"So patriarch, we can't agree to this marriage."
The opposing ministers were almost unanimous in their thoughts.
In their eyes, it didn't matter if the princess could marry the best prince of the fire race.
Most importantly, the Sacred Sword.
The Gold Race's Holy Sword had a supreme status in the Gold Race. It was worth protecting with their lives.
If the patriarch of the Fire Tribe was really here for the Saint Sword, then he definitely couldn't agree.
"Patriarch, the patriarch of the Fire Race has said that they will use the Saint Fire of the Fire Race as a betrothal gift."
"Since the Fire Race is willing to hand over their sacred relic, why can't our Metal Race be more generous?"
"Since it's a marriage alliance, everyone will be a family from now on. Isn't it better for the Fire Tribe and the Gold Tribe to be guarded by the two tribes together? "
"You old fogeys only want to stay in a corner and protect yourselves."
"Have you ever thought that our Jin Clan has now become the weakest clan among the five major clans?"
"Although we have the Sacred Sword, who has pulled out the Sacred Sword after the Elf King handed it to us?"
"If we don't cooperate with the Fire Race, then have you ever thought that the Fire Race will take the opportunity to destroy us in anger?"
"I think the patriarch of the Fire Race is not easy to provoke. He came sincerely but didn't get a response. A war might break out in anger. "
"The Fire Race has always been the nemesis of our Metal Race. If the Fire Race really wants to attack our Metal Race, then it will be the day of our Metal Race's extinction."
The supporters began to have conspiracy theories. In fact, they were also afraid that Zhuo Bufan would break out in anger and start a war.
If the Fire Race wanted to destroy the Metal Race, it would be easy.
What's more, the patriarch of the Fire Race had already taken control of his life.
And the Metal Race hadn't pulled out the Sacred Sword yet.
Therefore, no matter what, the Jin Clan could not allow this war to happen.
After listening to the minister's speech, many opponents began to fall silent.
Indeed, the patriarch of the Fire Race didn't look easy to provoke.
It was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't vent his anger on the entire Metal Race.
"But what if the marriage alliance is just a means for them to get the Sacred Sword?"
"I think the patriarch of the Fire Race is coming for the Sacred Sword."
"As for you being afraid that the Fire Race will be angry, why don't we ask the Water Race for help?"
"The Fire Race is the nemesis of our Metal Race, and the Water Race is also the nemesis of the Fire Race."
"The Water Race and our Metal Race are also allies. If we ask the Water Race to participate in the war, who knows who will win and who will lose?"
"So we don't have to treat the Fire Race as a scourge. We must consider this matter carefully."
Some opposing ministers proposed to ask the Water Race for help.
This was indeed a good way to deal with the Fire Race.
But after hearing this, the ministers who agreed to it were indignant.
"Ask the Water Race for help?"
"You can ask the Water Race, can't the Fire Race invite the Earth Race?"
"The Earth Race and the Fire Race have been allies for generations."
"When the time comes, we will drag the Wood Race in and then a war between the five races will break out."
"Everyone will fight until their heads bleed. In the end, all the elves will be destroyed."
"Is this the situation you fools want to see?"
"Originally, the marriage was a happy event, but because of you, it became the day of the elves' extinction."
"Is this necessary?"
These words once again made the opposing ministers speechless.
Indeed, if a war really broke out, then as long as one side invited allies, the other side would definitely invite allies.
In order to restrain each other, the five major races had their own alliances.
For example, the Fire Race found the Earth Race to restrain their nemesis, the Water Race.
The Metal Race found the Water Race to restrain their nemesis, the Fire Race.
And the Water Race found the Wood Race to restrain their nemesis, the Earth Race.
The five major races had always been the nemesis of each other.
Once a war broke out, it would probably be a big chaotic war in the end.
And the result of a big chaotic war was that the entire elven race might be wiped out.
It had to be said that the Metal Race was indeed facing a headache now.
After listening to so much analysis, the Metal Race patriarch realized that things were far from as simple as he thought.
In fact, the purpose of the Fire Race patriarch's marriage was very clear.
He was here for the Sacred Sword.
The ministers of the Metal Race were not fools. It was very easy to analyze.
The problem now was that even if the Metal Race knew the purpose of the Fire Race, they couldn't directly refuse.
Because they couldn't bear the consequences of refusing the Fire Race's request.
"Patriarch, please make a decision!"
"Whether it is the marriage or the war, we are willing to live and die with the Metal Race."
In the end, all the ministers once again returned this annoying question to the Metal Race patriarch.
After hearing this, the Metal Race patriarch was obviously a little anxious.
He needed to think carefully before he could give an answer to this question. And just as the Metal Race patriarch was vexed, the Metal Race princess stood up.
"Father, let your daughter make the decision for herself!"
The Metal Race princess knew that her father was in a difficult position now.
So she would rather bear the consequences of all this herself.
When the Metal Race princess stood up, all the ministers present remained silent.
Indeed, the princess was the one who had the most right to speak on this matter.
After all, this was the princess's marriage. No one could make the decision for her.
Seeing this, the patriarch asked in surprise.
"Child, are you sure?"
"Well, your daughter will make the decision for herself."
The Elf Princess knew very well that her next words might determine the future of the Metal Race, or even their life and death.
So she didn't dare to answer too decisively.
… …
At the same time, in the envoy's room arranged by the Metal Race patriarch.
Redflame and Zhuo Bufan were discussing the next arrangements.
"Brother Raging Flame, do you think the Metal Race patriarch will agree?"
Redflame looked at Zhuo Bufan and asked.
Zhuo Bufan replied after hearing this.
"You have to call me father here!"
Zhuo Bufan really wanted to take advantage of Redflame, this cheap son.
After hearing this, Redflame couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"That's enough. Are there any other elves here?"
"Who said there aren't? Be careful, the walls have ears. Call me father! "
In the face of Zhuo Bufan's shameless request, Redflame could only grit his teeth and say.
"Father, father, father, are you happy now?"
"Hahahahaha, I don't have such a stupid son like you."
Zhuo Bufan laughed heartily.
This was the first time he laughed so happily since he was in the World of Transmigration.
"Then father, do you think the Metal Race patriarch will hand over the Holy Sword?"
Although the plan was thought up by his cheap son Redflame, he wasn't too sure about this plan.
After all, he himself said that this was an immature plan.
He also thought that if the key plan failed, he would directly rob them.
However, after hearing this, Zhuo Bufan replied.
"It's hard to say, but I'm sure they won't dare to refuse. After all, they have to consider whether we will attack them if they refuse us. "
"The Fire Race is the nemesis of the Metal Race. In the face of the nemesis' request, they must think carefully before giving the best result."
"Of course, we must also be prepared to be rejected. If we are really rejected, I'm afraid we have to find other ways. "
Zhuo Bufan wasn't too sure, but he didn't want to rob them.
"I heard that the Metal Race's Holy Sword has never been pulled out by a Metal Race elf."
"Just like the rules of the Fire Race, the elf who has completely accepted the baptism of the Eternal Fire will become the patriarch of the Fire Race."
"And the elf who can pull out the Holy Sword will also become the patriarch of the Metal Race, the owner of the Holy Sword."
When Zhuo Bufan finished this sentence, Redflame couldn't help but ask.
"Really? Where did you get this information? "
Redflame asked in surprise, because even he didn't know where this information came from.
After hearing this, Zhuo Bufan laughed.
"Of course, I heard it when you were sleeping!"
"I was thinking that if the Metal Race refuses us, we will adopt the second plan, which is to directly pull out the Holy Sword."
"As long as we pull out the Holy Sword, then the Holy Sword will naturally be ours."
Zhuo Bufan had his plan B.
After hearing this, Redflame's eyes lit up.
"This is indeed a plan, but brother, the Metal Race hasn't pulled out the Holy Sword for generations. Do you think you can pull it out?"
Redflame asked with his soul.
After hearing this, Zhuo Bufan snorted.
"I can try!"
Although he said that he would give it a try, Zhuo Bufan was still very confident. He was confident that he could pull out the Holy Sword.
If he couldn't even pull out the Holy Sword, how could he be the Elf King?
"Well, if you can really pull out the Holy Sword, I will be willing to call you father!"
In order to encourage Zhuo Bufan, Redflame began to set his flag.
"Well, remember what you said today. I want this cheap son of yours. "
Zhuo Bufan didn't expect that he would meet such an interesting guy when he came to the Elf World.
To be precise, it was an interesting soul.
If he really left when the time came, perhaps Zhuo Bufan would be a little reluctant.
Just when Zhuo Bufan was about to accept his son, suddenly there was a shout from outside.
"The patriarch and princess are here!"
The guards outside began to report, and then the patriarch and princess of the Jin Clan entered the room one after another. Seeing this, Zhuo Bufan and Redflame immediately got up to greet them.
Zhuo Bufan brought Redflame to the front of the Jin Clan patriarch, then coughed twice and said.
"Ahem, the patriarch of the Jin Clan must have come to tell us the result."
"I hope it's a result worth being happy about."
Zhuo Bufan's implication was that he hoped the other party would agree to their marriage plan.
After hearing this, the patriarch of the Jin Clan laughed.
"Hahahaha!"
"Patriarch of the Huo Clan, I am indeed here to bring you good news."
"After my discussion with the princess, we've decided to agree to your marriage proposal."
Sure enough, in the end, the princess of the Jin Clan chose to agree to the marriage.
After listening to the analysis of so many ministers, the princess of the Jin Clan knew that if she refused, it would bring disaster to the Jin Clan.
If sacrificing herself could exchange for the continuation of the clan, then she was willing to make the sacrifice.
After hearing this news, Zhuo Bufan was stunned at first, then laughed.
"Hahahaha, this is really good news."
"Patriarch of the Jin Clan, please rest assured. Once our two clans are united by marriage, we will be invincible in the future."
"If our two clans are united, then the entire Elf World will be invincible."
"I just don't know about the dowry of the Jin Clan patriarch."
Although he said that, Zhuo Bufan didn't forget his purpose.
They didn't really come for the marriage, they only came for the sacred sword.
When the patriarch of the Jin Clan heard this, he quickly replied.
"Since the patriarch of the Huo Clan is so sincere, taking the sacred flame of the Huo Clan as a betrothal gift."
"In order to respond to the patriarch of the Huo Clan's sincerity, the Jin Clan is willing to take out the sacred sword as a dowry."
When Zhuo Bufan and Redflame heard this news, they couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
Their plan had finally succeeded.
The Jin Clan really took out the sacred sword as a dowry. This was the best news for them.
But just when Zhuo Bufan thought that the sacred sword was in their hands, the patriarch of the Jin Clan suddenly continued.
"But, there is one thing I must tell the patriarch of the Huo Clan first."
When Zhuo Bufan heard this, he knew that the matter was definitely not simple.
"What is it?" Zhuo Bufan asked.
"It's like this, to be honest, the sacred sword of the Jin Clan has been inserted in the Diamond Star since the Elf King passed it to us. So far, no elf has been able to pull it out. "
"We can take the sacred sword as a dowry, but I'm afraid this sacred sword can only be pulled out by you!"
Sure enough, the Jin Clan came prepared.
After a large group of people of the Jin Clan discussed for a long time, they were finally enlightened by the Princess.
The Princess told the ministers that even if the sacred sword was taken as a dowry, the Huo Clan couldn't pull it out.
His words reminded the ministers of something.
As long as the Huo Clan couldn't pull out the sacred sword, then they couldn't take it away.
This was the solution that the Jin Clan thought of.
